    2. Just re-reading it all again tonight and looking at the pictures properly....that Sturt desert pea is a real wonder. The handsome young chap in the third last photo...one of your boys?

    3. Hello again Phil,

      Those two boys are my grandsons. The eldest is nearly 13 and youngest nearly 1 and they are brothers. Love them to bits!

  2. Well that sounds like a tall order, but even if you only achieve half of that it will be a good year :)
    Love the new header photo.

    1. Dear Cheryl,

      It is a tall order, but I am not pressured by it. I will review it in six months to see how I am progressing. I felt I needed to put the list somewhere where I can check on my progress from time to time.

      I wasn't expecting the header to be that big. I will need to see if I can resize :)

      Have a great day!

    1. Wow didn't think this post would have that big of an impact. I am glad to hear it has helped you feel better.

      Take care of yourself Candace, hope you recover soon.

      Much love,
      Tania xx

  5. House maintenance is the order of the day here and in January we are at it from the get go. There are many other things on my 'list' but house renovating/maintenance is firmly in the foreground at the moment. I think your list is splendid Tania.

    1. Dear Sherri,

      Haha I keep a different list for such things! We have a bit of maintaining to do around here too, the most important being painting the walls of the house.

      Wishing you a lovely day,

      xTania

  6. Sounds like a great plan. Simplicity is the key and something I'm working on this year I think. Wishing you and your family a wonderful 2017.

  7. Now that's a list. Mine is a mission statement I have borrowed from somewhere, 'Start with where you are, use what you have and do as much as you can.'

  9. Your list is wonderful Tania. I'll need to look at it regularly as a reminder for my own goals this year. The photos are spectacular, and those boys, oh!!

  10. Wow Tania, you have got a lot on your list. I haven't even made one as yet. LOL! I am a bit behind already and we are only four days into the new year. I blame the heatwave :-)

    1. I know it seems a big list Nanna Chel, but it is shorter than the one I originally wrote down LOL! I could have just kept adding and adding. I am not compelled to do all these things, it is just a list of things I would like to do more of throughout the year and the rest of my life. Mostly tied in with being a better human :)

      We have a heatwave at the moment, but cant complain as we haven't had too many hot days this year.

  11. Love your list - mine would be pretty much the same! Happy 2017.

  12. Beautiful Tania. Good plan. You would look awesome with side swept bangs. (re the hair one!)
    I hope you have a wonderful year! xxx
